It is when people use alcohol as an escape route for social, personal or career pressures that abuse or alcoholism can result. Abuse of alcohol, or consumption of more alcohol than the body can handle, can lead to liver damage and other debilitating conditions.
About the Quahog. Quahogs are hard-shelled clams found in estuaries along the Atlantic Coast, from Canada to Texas. Their name, quahog, is a variation of poquauhock, (po-qua-hock) the Native American name for this clam.
The hard clam has many alternative common names. It is also known as the Northern quahog, round clam, or chowder clam. In fish markets there are specialist names for different sizes of this species of clam.The smallest legally harvestable clams are called countnecks, next size up are littlenecks, then topnecks.onfusingly, the ocean quahog is a different species, Arctica islandica, which, although superficially similar in shape, is in a different family of bivalves: it is rounder than the hard clam, usually has black periostracum, and there is no pallial sinus in the interior of the shell.
